ll whom it may concern Be it known that I, JEAN Gonnnn, a sub ject ofthe German Emperor, and resident of Darmstadt, in the Grand Duchyof-Hesse, German Empire, have invented a certain new and useful Methodof Manufacturing Perforated Tear-Off Paper and Like Blocks,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved method of manufacturing perforatedtearoff paper and like blocks and is also applicable for the manufactureof bundles of tickets of the perforated tear-off type.

Heretofore after removing a number of the sheetsthe rough edges of thestubs rendered. the removal of the remaining sheets difficult andresulted in uneven tearing of the sheets. This isparticularly the casewhere the perforations of the sheetto be torn off are covered somewhatby the rough edges of the stubs of the sheets already removed.

The object of the present invention is to provide an improved method ofmanufacturing perforated tear-off paper and like blocks, so that theperforations in the sheets may be arranged stepwise above one another ordisplaced relatively to one another either longitudinally ortransversely of the sheets. In the latter case the removal of thetickets is also facilitated as one of the .side edges of the topmostsheet projects laterally beyond the other sheets and thus affords readymeans of lifting the topmost sheet.

According to the present invention I use sheets of paper or likematerial of a uniform size and perforate these sheets so as to dividethe same into stubs and tear-off portions of like dimensions. Thereuponthe sheets are provided with a hole or holes lo- "cated in like positionin the sheets. A tool or tools are then passed through the registeringholes and the tool inclined at an angle to the plane of the sheetseither longitudinally or transversely thereof or both longitudinally andtransversely thereof, so as to displace the sheets accordingly. The

sheets may then be bound in this position 50 ready for use.

In order that my invention may be more clearly understood, reference ismade to the accompanying drawings, in which a bundle of ticketsmanufactured by my improved process are illustrated, the drawings alsoillustrating theniethod of manufacture.

In the manufapture of the block shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the sheetso-rtickets are perforated at d, so as to divide the sheets into tear-offportions a and stubs a oflike Holes 0 c are then punched through thestubs a and the sheets then arranged one upon ano-ther upon a base-plate(not shown on the drawings) provided with holes corresponding to theholes 0 c and arranged at the desired angle to the plane of the sheets.Tools 8 are then passed through the holes a into the holes in the baseplate and -on passing through the latter the tools are caused to inclineto the plane of the sheets, until the tools assume the position shown ineither Figs. 2 or 4,

in which the sheets aredisplaced both longiwhereupon the perforations dare'caused to lie stepwise above one another. .The stubs a are thenbound together by means of a binding device b.

It will be readily understood that when the holes 0 are circular, it isnecessary to provide a plurality of such holes in each sheet in order tomaintain the sheets in.

proper registration witheach other when inserting the tools 8. but ifdesired the hole s and the corresponding tool may be of prismatic shapeor of other angular shape thus obviating the punching'of a plurality ofholes. In Figs. 1 and2 the tool is shown as having been so inclined asto displace the sheets longitudinally.

In order to facilitate the removal of the sheets the block may, however,be made in the form shown in Fig. 3 by inclining the tool 8 at an angletransversely of the sheets, so that by this means one of the side edgesof the topmost sheet is caused to project 1aterally beyond thecorresponding side edges of the lower sheets. It will of course also bereadily understood that the tool a may be inclined both longitudinallyand transversely (as shown in Fig. 4) relatively to the sheets, so as todisplace the sheets accordingly.

I claim lear oft paper and like blocks which consists in perforatinsheets of equal dimensions to clining the tool at an angle to the laneof the sheets so as to cause the pe orations between the stubs andtear-off portions to lie stepwise aboveone another, and there afterbinding the stubs together while the sheets are so arranged.
